• McTominay scores twice for Napoli against Roma

• Dortmund top Bundesliga after Eintracht Frankfurt win

Roma missed the chance to move top of Serie A, but preserved their unbeaten status as Leonardo Balerdi’s 89th-minute goal snatched a thrilling 3-3 draw at Napoli. Scott McTominay put Napoli ahead with his second goal in the 83rd minute, but Balerdi completed his own double to ensure Roma extended their undefeated start to the league campaign to eight matches.

Como backed up their Champions League victory over Manchester United as Anastasios Douvikas scored twice in 11 minutes for a 2-0 win against Sassuolo. They climbed to fourth in the table, two points adrift of Inter who host Fiorentina on Sunday. Later on Saturday, Lazio host Parma.

DORTMUND (ANP) - Titelverdediger Gian van Veen is al vroeg uitgeschakeld op het EK darts in Dortmund. In de achtste finales was de Engelsman Luke Woodhouse te sterk: 6-10. Vorig jaar pakte Van Veen op het EK zijn eerste hoofdprijs door de Engelsman Luke Humphries te verslaan in de finale.

Van Veen (24) is er dit jaar nog niet in geslaagd een tweede groot toernooi te winnen. Begin dit jaar haalde hij wel de finale van het WK, maar daarin was Luke Littler te sterk. Van Veen is de huidige nummer 2 van de wereld, Woodhouse staat achttiende.

Voormalig nummer 1 van de wereld Michael van Gerwen werd vrijdag al uitgeschakeld in de eerste ronde van het EK. Landgenoot Kevin Doets was te sterk. Doets verloor zaterdagavond vervolgens ook in de achtste finales, net als Jermaine Wattimena. Daardoor zijn alle Nederlanders uitgeschakeld in Dortmund.

DEN HAAG (ANP) - Het minderheidskabinet gaat opnieuw praten met de oppositie om een "brede meerderheid" te vinden voor het belastingplan. Dat meldt Financiën. Zaterdag overlegden de premier, vicepremiers en bewindslieden van Financiën op het Catshuis over een nieuw voorstel.

Het waren "goede gesprekken", aldus een bron. Er zijn volgens een andere ingewijde nog wat open vragen, maar er zou goeddeels overeenstemming zijn. Het kabinet gaat de komende dagen opnieuw onderhandelen met JA21 en SGP, PRO en Volt, ChristenUnie, 50PLUS en BBB, aldus Financiën.

Minister Eelco Heinen (Financiën, VVD) en staatssecretaris Eelco Eerenberg (Financiën, D66) presenteerden aan premier Rob Jetten (D66) en vicepremiers Bart van den Brink (CDA) en Dilan Yeşilgöz (VVD) een nieuw voorstel voor de vermogenswinstbelasting box 3. Er moest een alternatief komen omdat de oppositie het plan om kleine spaarders en vermogenden sneller te belasten had afgeschoten.

We had the pleasure of illustrating Barnes & Noble's Classic Starts series, bringing beloved literary classics to life in a timeless storybook style. Our work included Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, The Jungle Book, Winnie-the-Pooh, The Monkey King and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.

A tale of too many cities.

The Art of Disney Fairies tumblr is an unofficial artbook of the Disney Fairies franchise, a uniquely detailed look at all the visual work needed for 3D animation. (And books, toys, games, etc.) Posts are categorized by specific movies (1 2 3 4 5 6), or you may also enjoying focusing on e.g. storyboards or color keys.

More unusual tags include Tinker Academy, the cancelled seventh movie; Quest for the Queen, which was retooled into The Pirate Fairy, and Ring of Belief, a catch-all name for several earlier drafts of the first movie that had completely different plots. This movie was briefly planned to use traditional 2D animation, and later drafts featured such oddities as a Pixie Chicks concert. The franchise ended in 2014 after launching in 2005 with three books by Gail Carson Levine, author of Ella Enchanted, set after Peter Pan and detailing Tinker Bell learning to trust again after Peter left her. The movies and related materials, by contrast, told Tinker Bell's origins before meeting Peter. The Levine-era fairies dressed in more earth tones with more complicated designs, but the movies focused on single colors and simpler dresses, easier for animation and dolls. After a decade of near-silence, recent developments like two new fairy YA romance novels, new Disney Fairies merchandise appearing, and rumors of a new TV show (inaccurately often paired with an old Tinker Academy render) have fans all aflutter. And if you miss Pixie Hollow, the browser-based MMO, fans are bringing that back themselves.
